    #43 Suffering in Silence: Finding Hope with PTSD in First Responder Culture

    As a First Responder, there really is no room for trauma, the job demands resilience at any cost. You are expected to keep it together and not show signs of weakness. The truth is, the body remembers what the mind tries to forget, forced silence becomes dangerous. In this solo episode, I share my story as a former Paramedic, how one call became the tipping point that sent me into a spiral of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I talk openly about the experienced isolation, in the face of ridicule and the lack of real support when you’re struggling to put your uniform on. This isn’t a clinical conversation. It’s a human one. I also share what actually helped me heal when traditional paths fail. My experience with a single dose of Psilocybin that became the turning point,  allowing me to reclaim my life, my nervous system, and my sense of self. If you’re a first responder, a veteran, or someone quietly carrying trauma while trying to be “OK,” this episode is for you. You’re not weak. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone. There is hope and there are other ways forward.   Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca If you are enjoying this podcast please send a link to a friend you think could benefit:) Subscribe, rate and review..gives me the opportunity to get this to those that need it.     #PTSD #FirstResponderMentalHealth #FirstResponders #ParamedicLife #TraumaRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #HealingJourney #InvisibleWounds #BreakTheStigma #YouAreNotAlone #AnxietyRecovery #DepressionRecovery #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaInformed #PodcastEpisode #MentalHealthPodcast #Resilience #PostTraumaticGrowth #PsychedelicTherapy #PsilocybinTherapy #AlternativeHealing #HealingTrauma #VeteranSupport #EmergencyServices #EndTheSilence #redefininglove #taraportelli

    #43 The Practice That Will Turn Your Manifestations Into Reality

    Without realizing it, you are unconsciously programmed for fear. That same fear is blocking you, blocking you from abundance, love, and everything you want to experience in your life. In this solo episode, I share my own experience navigating fear, along with the steps to actually create your manifestations in your life within 72 hours. This practice came to my awareness just last week, and once you begin implementing it, you’ll become the witness to your manifestations turning into your reality. I also share a key statement that could change everything,  from the love you’ve been blocking to the career you’ve always dreamed of. Everything is available to you. This episode offers techniques to unstick yourself from fear, release grief, and step into a life of infinite abundance and love. An episode that could quite literally change your life.

    #40 How to access your dream life; Becoming the Version of You Who Can Receive It All

    So here we are in 2026, and you genuinely want to manifest your dream life. You’ve tried everything, yet nothing seems to be working. You feel ready… but somehow it just isn’t happening. The truth is, there’s something you’re missing, something so profound when it comes to accessing the reality you desire, and almost no one is talking about it. It’s not as simple as staying positive or thinking about what you want. Trust me, I did that for years and it didn’t work. In this solo episode, I’m sharing my secret to accessing the mystery and magic of life, while also becoming the version of yourself who can actually receive every dream your heart desires. I’ve created a reality that, at times, makes me stop and pinch myself, wondering if this is truly my life. This episode will help you understand what’s been keeping you stuck, how to shift it, and how to finally access the life you’ve been calling in.   Connect with me: Follow me on IG: @iamtaraportelli Learn about my Retreats: www.arcadiahealing.ca   #manifestation #dreamlife #spiritualawakening #innerwork #selflovejourney #mindsetshift #healingjourney #consciouscreation #personaltransformation #limitingbeliefs #alignedliving #spiritualgrowth #selfworth #realitycreation #manifestyourdreams #podcastlife #solopodcast #awakeningconsciousness #embodiment #energyalignment #selfmastery #intentionalliving #healyourself #becomingher #psilocybinhealing #plantmedicinejourney #soulledbusiness #retreatlife #healingretreat #expandedconsciousness #embodiedwisdom #spiritualentrepreneur #deephealing #transformationalwork #redefininglove #iamtaraportelli #arcadiahealingsanctum

    #37 - Meeting the Parts You Hide; A Meditation for Self-Forgiveness and Expansion

    Do you find yourself feeling guilt or shame, or beating yourself up over mistakes in an attempt to become perfect? Perfection is an illusion. The truth is… our mistakes are some of our greatest teachers. In this podcast, and over the next two weeks, I’m inviting you to take a journey into the deeper parts of yourself. The places that hold darkness. The parts of you that may not feel fully accepted. Using my guided meditations, I will gently guide you into a beautiful reconnection with yourself—one that feels safe and expansive, allowing you to be more fully you in the world. Together, we will softly illuminate these spaces, meeting them with compassion, forgiveness, worthiness, and acknowledgment. These meditations are sacred invitations—practices I have previously offered only within my personal, in-person transformational retreats. It is an honour to now share them with you here, as a doorway into deeper self-connection and healing.   JOIN MY TRANSFORMATIONAL COURSE   Use code POD40 to get 40% off at checkout    Pain To Empowerment -  Learn to turn your darkest moments into your greatest superpower.    If you are enjoying the podcast, please comment and subscribe     #selfacceptance #innerhealing #shadowwork #selfcompassion #healingjourney #emotionalhealing #spiritualgrowth #selfworth #innerchildhealing #mindfulliving #personaltransformation #consciousliving #selflovejourney #healingmeditation #authenticself #lettinggo #forgivenesspractice #innerpeace #soulwork #embodiedhealing #releasingperfection #redefininglove #taraportelli #meditation
